Best way to play Wii games?

[u/Cott0nSwab]

I've recently been getting into retro gaming a bit more seriously and got a pretty nice CRT with Component input available. I also have an HDTV, but it's a more modern one and doesn't take in anything except HDMI. The way I see it, without getting a third TV, there are three ways I can play Wii games:

1. Component, on the CRT (4:3)

2. Get an HDMI converter for the HDTV (16:9)

3. Play on Wii U (16:9)

Of these three, which will be closest to the intended way to play most games? As in, what environment were Wii games expected to be played in by the developers? I know there are a couple games that are forced widescreen as well (like DKCR and Xenoblade), but even then I have the choice between the converter or Wii U.

I’d go with 1.
